Next day, we were all gathered together to plan the way we would reveal Rahul's truth to the public.

For some initial hours, none of us made a suggestion. To be honest, we were all scared of how the public will react because it wasn't really a normal thing. To announce that somebody who was supposed to be dead three years ago, is suddenly actually alive and with us was going to make a big fuss around the media and our audience. We didn't even know if we'll be able to work again in the industry or not but this truth needed to be disclosed anyhow. We couldn't keep Rahul hidden forever.

We were all quiet, thinking hard about some master plan. Sehgal uncle sat on the couch accross me with his fist on his forehead. Vivek sat diagonal to me with hands folded on thighs and his eyebrows were lifted.
Rahul was sitting beside me covering his mouth with hands.

Despite of what situation we were in, when I saw, all of us sitting together like that a smile twitched on my lips. Rahul noticed it and I guess he understood the reason behind it as he gave me a side hug.

4 hours passed by and we still hadn't made any plan. I felt my stomach growling as I really had been starving since last night.

"Guys, don't you think we should eat something? I'm sure y'all are hungry?"

"C'mon yar Aarohi how much do you eat? I saw you eating bread butter at breakfast and you're again hungry?" Rahul teased me.

"Oh hello! I did not eat anything. That was for you. And I know you didn't eat that" i replied.

"Seriously? I thought you cooked it for yourself. That's why i left it there. If i had eaten that what would you eat? my brain?" He said again while smile crept from the corner of his mouth.

"Ohhhh REALLY" I huffed pointing the 'R'.

They all laughed and Rahul slightly ruffled with my hair. I laughed with them and we finally agreed on ordering pizza.

Our pizza arrived in half an hour and Vivek got up to receive it. As soon as he opened the door, a person barged in, pointed his camera towards Rahul which made a shutter sound, and ran away. Vivek went after him. We were all clueless of what just happened. I was shocked and processing what happened two minutes ago. I prayed it didn't happen but no, it did and I just knew that we were in a big problem now. A man who we assumed to be a media person, had known about Rahul residing here. He came here disguised as a delivery boy, clicked his picture as a proof and had run away.

We were still standing motionless when Vivek came back  gasping and shook his head which meant that he couldn't catch him. We were really in a big trouble now. We will be triggered now all around the nation. I was really scared now as I knew people are going to bully Rahul. History will be repeated. Rahul will have to handle everything again. I don't know if he will be able to go through all the same hardships again. The reason which triggered him to end his life has come back.

Rahul noticed my expressions and he knew what was going on my mind. By this time, Sehgal uncle and Vivek had gone outside to search throughout for that anonymous person. Rahul sat me on the couch, put his palms on my face and said, "Don't worry!" I looked at him with fear surrounding all over my stomach. "I will be okay. Nothing is going to shake me now. I can handle everything. I have you, my power. As long as I have you and your love by my side, i am all okay." And this time, i looked into his eyes and felt a relief that he was telling the truth  and this time all will be ok now.

"Promise?" I asked
"Promise!" He replied.
